If it's true, they better implement the aiming system from San Andreas into its predecessors. That's the least they can do. There is no way I can cope with the now-defunct way of shooting dudes in the first two games. Or even better, remake all three games using GTA IV's controls. In any case, this is still awesome.
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto is a sandbox-violence game, that has drawn attention all over the world, and has pretty much become one of the most noticeable criminal-sandbox franchises ever.
GTA trilogy to receive same treatment as God of War?
Ehh... no thanks. The GTA series isn't a franchise that has games that age well. The AI is crap, missions aren't paced well, of course the aiming is archaic compared to GTA IV. I still consider San Andreas to be my favorite GTA experience to date, but I'm sure these problems would stick out more to me if I played the game again.
Unless they redo a lot of the game (which I doubt would be financially worth it), I would probably pass on it.
I may only be speaking for myself here, but the controls are the only thing that stop me from rediving into the GTA trilogy. There were maybe too many mini-games as missions in SA, but I can get over that. Truly, they input GTA IV's controls in these games and Santa is going to shit gold from now on. That's the only thing I'm really begging for." Ehh... no thanks. The GTA series isn't a franchise that has games that age well.

Maybe, but it could very well be true. From the minute we learned that GoW was getting an enhanced port for the PS3, everybody on the net was talking about how cool and awesome it would be if so or said game was ported/remade as well. Considering how well the GTA games have sold, it's not unrealistic to hope they get the same treatment. If you ask me, it probably will." That site reminds me a lot of Sony Defence Force, I think it's safe to say that this is a scam. "
I'm not going to buy it on psn, now it looks like I would have to buy it on the pc. I know there is a gta trilogy and I would get higher resolution at least. Then again I own the games on the ps2, maybe I should play it there.
I'm only complaining because my ps3 ylod and I had a best buy waranty and exchanged it for a new 80 gig ps3 with no backwards compatibility. I think them taking out backwards compatibility to make more money is really a bad decision.
" Considering the fan reaction to the God of War collection I would not doubt that you'll more companies do that. Expect to see more and more PS2 games getting the 're-work' treatment. "yeah dev's working on big titles are seeing the genius behind what the GOWIII guys are doing. Why not make use of a very cheap, and fast way of making a lot of dough while you are doing hard work on your next big title?
" Yeah the aiming in San Andreas was messed. LOL I AM RUNNIN BACKWARDS AND SHOOTIN IN DA AIR. "Actually, I think San Andreas handled it nicely. Definitely an improvement over the lack of aiming ability you had in Vice City. If you're aiming to shoot at something and have your back turned to it, I think it's alright to instead fire in the air like that. It's a pretty G move, anyway. Sure, maybe CJ should have just turned around, but like the Grove Street OG he is, he just shoots into the air and attracts the attention of all rival gang members before he caps those Balla and Vagos fools. YA HEARD? Grove Street 4 Life!
Actually, there is a possibility of that happening. Fumito Ueda of Team ICO has stated that he is interested in having such a collection and is meeting with Sony this week to discuss the possibilities." They should do one for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. "

"I do have an interest in that," Ueda said during our [Kotaku] Friday chat. "Next week, I'll have a meeting [about the possibility] ... But it might not be so easy, because, with both titles we really stretched the limits of the PS2. It's complex. So it's not such an easy transfer to the PS3. But I want to discuss it."

" They should do one for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. "Yeah i hope that happens, never played either. So that would be sweet.
" I'd rather they put their time and money into developing a new game instead of rehashing ones that have been played to death already. But it's probably easy money for them because a lot of people will be stupid enough to re-buy a game they own, and played, already. "It wouldn't exactly take a lot of time for a small development team to do these little enhancements.
But I already own all three games on the Xbox and they run fine on the 360, which were already upgraded from the original PS2 versions. Even looking slightly better, as others have said the series hasn't aged particularly well, I don't think I'd really want to go back and play them.

I completely agree. SotC was an amazing game, and this would only make it better.

In my opinion, this would be a lot better than another re-release of the GTA games.

Damn. I'd be all over that. The early GTA's were ok..but I'd much rather have that.
This popped into my mind the moment I read about the GOW ports. I just hope they give GTAIII and VC the same analog camera while driving controls they gave SA on Xbox (which carried over to GTA4 on both consoles -- not talking about driveby shooting).
Besides surely those games could run at 1080p on modern consoels.
